Chapter 11: Summer Sacrifice, Eat! Eat! Eat!

"Isn't this two servings of azuki rice cake soup? Why serve four bowls? Meng Meng was puzzled, the rice cake soup was cooked with Da Nayan red beans, and the rice cake was also soft and delicious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Didn't you notice that all the couples who come here are couples and couples?" Jun Hanshuang raised his eyebrows and pointed to the guests sitting in the store, "This shop only makes a small bean rice cake soup, which is divided into two bowls to imply the harmony of husband and wife, so the people who come here basically eat one share." But you and I are not a couple, let alone a husband and wife, so we don't have to worry about these customs. ”

Shrimp?! She and Junhan are ...... Harmony between husband and wife?

No wonder he smiled so poorly just now, it turned out that he knew the meaning behind this small bean rice cake soup.

Meng Meng laughed dryly twice, and silently drank the two bowls of rice cake soup.

When Jun Hanshuang finished eating, the carriage had already left, and they walked slowly on the street, turning a corner, the pedestrians gradually increased, and the shops were densely piled up, obviously much more prosperous. Their house numbers are very cute, they are small torii gates, and the colors are different, the east-west moe yellow, the north-south side is the bellflower color, even if you get lost, you can judge the direction by the color, it is a good design!

"We came at the right time." Jun Hanshuang looked at the lively roadside stalls on both sides of the street, covered his mouth and smiled.

"What?" Meng Meng didn't react for a while.

"As the end of summer approaches, Osaka Castle holds a summer festival, and many vendors set up their stalls here, so it can be said that the food of the whole city is concentrated here." Jun Han's black jade-like eyes looked at her, radiant, and a shallow smile hung on his lips, which was very charming.

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Come on, it's too late, and you won't have anything to eat! Meng Meng grabbed Jun Hanshuang's sleeve and half-pulled him into the crowd.

The golden takoyaki is covered with mayonnaise, seaweed slices, and well, some of them are filled with boni, and they are grilled on an iron plate until they are fragrant.

The chicken is skewered with bamboo skewers, grilled over a charcoal fire, sprinkled with salt and sugar, and poured with cooking wine, soy sauce and mirin.

There is also a rotary pot for making marshmallows, which is not a large white fluffy ball of cotton, but a small and delicate piece of kinpei, which is shaped a bit like a star, and the taste is very light, which is made of glutinous rice fried and crushed and made of sugar water.

Jun Hanshuang bought a small paper bag to give her, and later learned that there is a local saying that a boy gives a girl Jinping candy, which means that he likes her, because Jinping candy is sweet, but it is easy to melt, much like the feeling of first love.

Hanami dumplings are also available, the kind of three-color string, pink is mung bean filling, white is red bean paste, and green is matcha filling. However, because it is not cherry blossom season, it is more common to see four dumplings per skewer, the white one is glutinous rice, covered with a thick layer of red bean paste, the dark green one seems to be made of mugwort, and the entrance has a strong grassy aroma, and a bunch of barbecue dumplings, drizzled with sweet sauce.

A few young people sat around the small noodle stall, the boss put the hot udon into cold water to soak it, and then scooped it up with a spoon, poured a circle of soup, and brought it to the guests.

In addition to the food stalls, there are also some game stalls, such as fishing for goldfish is very popular with children, only to see a little girl in a yukata, holding a small fishing net to hold her breath, waiting for the little goldfish to approach, quickly fished, put into the bag given by the boss, there are also children next to the fish catched, but halfway by the little goldfish broke the fishing net. There are also two young girls who seem to be discussing what kind of flower paper to buy, and finally choose a piece of Nanmu paper inlaid with cherry blossoms, hand it to the boss and ask him to inscribe on it, the boss with a long beard lifts the brush and writes a few lines of small seals on it, and the style looks quite the charm of the Central Plains.

Meng Meng and Jun Han walked around and ate on both sides, and then they stopped at a barbecue shop when they were tired and ordered a few skewers, unlike others, the grilled fish in this shop is mixed with soy sauce, wine, and mirin, and marinated with cut grapefruit, and has a fruity aroma after grilling.

"It's delicious, and if you have any chicken, pork intestines, and squid, give me ten skewers each!" Meng Meng shouted heroically with a greasy face.

"Great!" The boss glanced at her in surprise, then turned his head to look at Jun Hanshuang, and saw that he was eating slowly and elegantly, and couldn't help but smile: "Your girl can really eat." ”

"It's ......a blessing to be able to eat," Jun Hanshuang smiled slightly, took a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped the oil on Meng Meng's face, "Don't move, eat like a child." ”

Meng Meng smirked and took another bite of the barbecue.

It's hot, but let the boss sprinkle Tang Xinzi, with a little spicy, it's even more delicious!

Jun Hanshuang looked at Meng Meng's innocent smiling face, her heartbeat accelerated somehow, and she couldn't help but lean in and kiss her on the lips.

At this time, Meng Meng also came back to his senses, and slapped Jun Hanshuang on the face, although the force was very light, but it made him completely sober.

"I'm sorry, you have mosquitoes on your face......" Meng Meng turned her face away in embarrassment.

"Really? Thank you. Jun Hanshuang didn't know what to say, so he was silent for a while, and said, "Hurry up and eat, there will be a fireworks show later." ”

The sky gradually darkened, the street stalls were hung with a red paper lantern, and suddenly there was a stirring drum sound in the distance, mixed with the sound of a long flute, and the tourists all rushed to the place where the sound was made.

"Wow! It's beautiful! Meng Meng admired from the bottom of his heart.

On the wide river, there are dozens of ornately decorated lantern boats swimming by, the front lantern seems to be the shape of the god of worship, the expression is not angry but mighty, the momentum is compelling, the young man wearing a short beat the taiko drum rhythmically next to it, with the sound of drums and flutes, the atmosphere of the scene quickly warmed up.

"Will the fireworks be set off here after the lantern boat is paraded?" Meng Meng curiously pointed at the lantern boats passing by.

"Yes." Jun Hanshuang looked at her with a smile, "The scenery here is the most beautiful section of the entire river, especially when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, looking from the bridge, it looks like pink clouds." ”

"Really?" Listening to his description, Meng Meng couldn't help but imagine the beautiful picture in his mind, and said enviously: "If only I could see it......"

Jun Hanshuang smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly a dark shadow came out of the darkness and knelt in front of him: "Young master, there is news from Heianjing." As he spoke, he leaned into Jun Han's ears and said a few words.

Meng Meng saw that Jun Hanshuang's expression was not quite right, and said with some concern: "What's wrong?" ”

"Don't worry." Jun Hanshuang restrained his stunned moment, shook his head, and said with some regret: "We have to rush back to the house now to deal with some things, I'm afraid we won't see fireworks today...... However, you can still walk a little bit and take a look at the scenery along the way. ”

Well, anyway, there are so many people now, and the carriage can't get in, so of course Meng Meng has no opinion.

Walking leisurely like this, passing by the open-air shrine on the way, Jun Hanshuang stopped and said thoughtfully: "This is a marriage shrine, but about the legendary couple, Ah Chu and Debei were martyred here, you say, isn't it strange?" ”
